The University of Michigan Law School, located in Ann Arbor is a unit of the University of Michigan. The Law School, founded in 1859, currently has an enrollment of approximately 1,200 students, most of whom are earning the degrees of Juris Doctor (J.D.) or Master of Laws (LLM). As of 2004, the Law School's faculty includes 72 full-time professors and 42 visiting or adjunct professors. For decades Michigan Law has been regarded as one of the top law schools in the country. According to the 2008 edition of U.S. News and World Report graduate school rankings, it is ranked 8th overall.
Admission to Michigan Law School is highly selective, with only one in five applicants earning acceptance. The class of 2009 at Michigan possesses a median LSAT score of 168, and a median GPA of 3.67. 98% of the graduating class of 2006 was employed by graduation day, earning a median starting salary of $125,000. Additionally, 750 employers were present in Ann Arbor for the Law School’s Early Interview Week in August of 2006. Since 1991, Michigan Law has been the top public law school for United States Supreme Court Clerkships, placing 23 graduates in this prestigious position.
In 2003, the United States Supreme Court upheld the University of Michigan Law School's affirmative action policy. In its opinion in Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court held that the United States Constitution permits the Law School to use racial background as a criterion in deciding whether or not to admit an applicant. However, there is debate as to whether the use of race in admissions will become illegal after 25 years (2028), due to a statement in the majority holding, which was restated in a concurring opinion.
